“One of the joys of visiting Rotary clubs and speaking about scouting is that the two organizations have the same mission of service to others,” Erica Gillette told members of the Rotary Club of Lake Houston at the Lake Houston Family YMCA Feb. 2. “In scouting, we teach young people how to take care of themselves, their families and their communities, the same as Rotary.”
Gillette described how Rotary and the Scouts have been partners in serving young people for more than a hundred years when Rotary was the first service club in America to adopt scouting.
